I'm only on ch8 so maybe it'll be clarified later, but I'm a little confused on what's happening. The story seems to jump back and forth between the past and present. Can a kind soul please help?
So far this is what I currently understand:
FL is the bastard daughter of the marquis that he fathered with a maid. The FL was badly neglected by the father and the rest of the servants. Bc the marquis owed a huge debt to the Duke, there was an egangement between the FL and Valer. It seems she moved in to live with him at Witash since they were children. After all, she was engaged to him so had to learn the ropes of a duchess. However, he went to war and before leaving for war, he actually threw a signed annulment paper at her. When he came back from war, he still didn't want to marry her. Rather, he still treated her coldly while he being friendly and considerate to the other peers. While attending a party as a representative of Witash (the Duke himself did not attend) she overheard the Emperor talk about the criteria he's looking for in a wife?
Then Lady Eustace went to their home and they had a confrontation. After seeing how Witash refused to listen to her, she signed the annulment papers. She returns home and attends the party where she thinks the ML will be and then propositions him?
